Board Shorts Podcast

Earlier in March we celebrated International Women’s Day, so there has been a lot of conversation around women, and in our space, women in the boardroom. I believe that board diversity is something that we should strive to achieve. It makes for a much more interesting and rewarding board experience and improved outcomes for the organisation.

I share some thoughts about how boards can go about increasing their diversity and also how aspiring board members can take advantage of the opening up of the boardroom. Listen to the podcast now below.

Building a Not-For-Profit Board

One of the most commonly asked questions I get is “how do I get on a board”. And it makes sense. Boards seem like really cool places to be and the title of director or board member is a neat thing to have. There’s lots of information out there about what to do once you’re on a board; but not so much about how to get on one in the first place.

Episode one of the Board Shorts podcast covers six steps that aspiring company directors and board members can take to get themselves in the position to be asked to join a board.
